CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is an open-source network-transparent version control
system for individual developers to large, distributed teams.
The biggest limitation of CVS is that it uses a command line interface.
WinCvs is developed to provide a graphical front end to the CVS core.
WinCvs is made available under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.

Setup Local Repository.
Information
Before WinCvs can be used to manage any files, a repository must be created.
A local repository means that repository is accessible directly on same computer
(Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP) where WinCvs is running. This configuration is normally
useful only for projects with just one developer since the files are
only available on one computer.
